Rita Nzuwah

Rita Nzuwah is a Maryland-based clinician who helps individuals, couples, and families navigate the everyday stresses, hurts, and traumas that arise in life. She is an African-American, faith-based practitioner who brings particular commitment to supporting minority men, women, couples, and families through relational and life transitions.

Rita approaches counseling from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life; her role is to guide and support clients as they build skills and confidence to reach their goals. She meets clients where they are and draws on their strengths and existing resources while conducting comprehensive assessments that consider biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. When requested, she integrates faith-based principles that clients find meaningful.

Rita holds an MD and practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland — her clinical social work license is registered as 19787. With six years of clinical experience, she focuses on relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and career difficulties. Her work emphasizes helping clients develop their own approaches to problem solving and empowering them to make lasting changes.

Due to limited availability, Rita is currently able to provide ongoing therapy sessions by phone only. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to take steps toward improved well-being.
